Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Washburn, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Washburn clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
